Caught the mole, the death penalty deserves the death penalty, and the exile deserves the exile. The passwords for the flag and lantern have been revised.

The envoys of Yamatai, Nanshengmi and Urban Niuli, were placed under house arrest and strictly forbidden to communicate with the outside world. The Japanese prisoners were imprisoned to prevent them from escaping.

Qiuzi envoy Afei Guli and Sun Quan escorted him out of the Xiliang border pass.

The materials needed for the eastward expedition and the sources of conscription are being fully mobilized.

In the course of preparing for the three months of the Eastern Crusade, Cai Yan organized a national tour of the new chapter of "Changle Weiyang", which once again caused a huge sensation, mobilized the enthusiasm of the whole people to prepare for the war, and also received the expected results.

As long as the people of the whole country support it, Liu Xie's battle will be much smoother.

Finally, at the end of August, all the signals were ready and waiting for the expedition.

Liu Xie chose the first day of September as the day of departure.

Yan Er was appointed as the general of the town and presided over the state affairs, and the strategists included Pang Tong, Guo Jia, Huang Yueying, Cai Yan, etc., and the generals Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xu Chu, Xu Huang and others.

Expedition to Waren Island, personally led by Liu Xie, as the commander, ten thousand-man ironclad steam warships, 120 hundred-man ironclad steam warships.

Wen Yin, the commander of the navy, Xiahou Ling, and Lu Qiling, the deputy commanders.

The generals of the navy include Gan Ning, Zhang Yun, Huang Gai, Huang Zu, Lu Meng and others.

Among the army generals, Zhuge Ling was the military division, and the rest of the generals were Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, Xiahoudun, Xiahou Yuan and others.

In addition, Liu Xie also brought Diao Chan, Sister Fan, Zhen Mi, Xiao Qiao and other harem concubines, as well as the children corresponding to the concubines.

Concubine Za couldn't go with the army because she couldn't stand the turbulence at sea, because she was pregnant, and because she was still preparing to build her winery.

However, Xinna's Beimi Ming Yuexiang insisted on following, firstly because she was a widow, and secondly, because although he had slept many times, he had never been pregnant, so it was convenient to go to sea.

On the morning of September 1, in Beihai Harbor, the drums of war were sounding, and tens of thousands of people spontaneously came to see them off.

There will be times when the wind and waves will be long, and the clouds will sail into the sea!

Although this poem came from Li Bai hundreds of years later, it was just right for Liu Xie's mood at this moment.

Going to Wajin Island, taking into account various factors, it takes three days to arrive, so there is no hurry, the previous voyage, also probed the sea literature data along the way, and during the three-month preparation period, I also sent sporadic warships to and from Wajin Island and Beihai Port many times, so the voyage along the way is very familiar.

The three days passed quickly, and when they arrived at the Waren Island, more than a hundred warships came to the shore, and from a distance, it was also a black oppression. The first thing to do is to gather on the sea about ten miles from the coast and anchor.

In the command cabin of the flagship galaxy, in addition to Liu Xie, there are Cai Yan, Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao. Liu Xie ordered: "Let's wait and see what happens, take it here for a day and a night, don't make any movement, I want to see what they still want to do, and will they gather warships here to attack us?" ”

In the past three months, there were originally a lot of fragments of wooden warships on the sea, but now there are very few.

Liu Xie pulled Zhuge Liang to the bow deck and said, "How do you think we should proceed?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "The Waren Island, the land of projectiles, the land of barbarism, is very backward, in the opinion of the ministers, just push forward." ”

"Push forward?"

"Yes, Your Majesty," Zhuge Liang said, "our Han army has a crushing advantage, so just push forward, the entire Waren Island together is not as big as Xuzhou." ”

(Note: Xuzhou here refers to the boundary of Xuzhou Prefecture, not a Xuzhou city, which is equivalent to today's East China.) ）

Liu Xie said: "It's true, our weapons are advanced, and they are basically uncivilized natives. However, I think that when the time is right, it is better to have a strategy. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, you can act as you please."

"And how do you think you get ashore?"

Zhuge Liang said: "Your Majesty has to wait for a day and night, then tomorrow when the time comes, Wei Chen thinks, first take the artillery bombardment, and then the army lands, advances, first occupy a city, and then it depends on the situation." ”

Liu Xie nodded and said, "What the military advisor said is exactly what I wanted. ”

In this way, the Han fleet stopped not far from the coast for a day and night, and did not find anything abnormal, nor did other countries such as Yamatai or the Dog Slave Country send Japanese soldiers to harass.

The day after arriving at the island, Liu Xie ordered the warships to continue to approach the land, and began to bombard the shore with all his might. After the bombardment, all the troops began to land.

Due to the deep draft of the warships, they could not reach the shore, so all the soldiers and supplies were transported to the shore in small boats. This process lasted for a whole day, and it was not until it was almost dark that all the soldiers and supplies were landed and unloaded.

Expedition to the East, so there are too many supplies to carry.

This time they landed on the Japanese Island, of which 10,000 were cavalry, and the others were infantry and logistics baggage troops, as well as logistics personnel.

First of all, he set up camp, Liu Xie asked the entire 50,000-strong troops to camp up, and did not attack in a hurry, but waited for the warship to return to Beihai Port and transported the second batch of army personnel by sea.

The warship fleet returned, the army camp was also set up, and Liu Xie convened the generals to discuss the matter.

Liu Xie said: "This Yamatai's female Wan Beimihu is too arrogant, she asked me to help her fight, if she doesn't come to greet her, forget it, first sent a fleet to attack my warship, and now I haven't seen a single person." ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Weichen thinks that this is very good, the province is verbose, and when you encounter it, you will do it directly." ”

Liu Xie nodded and said, "Yes, everyone go down and have a good rest, and order their own people to take turns to be vigilant to prevent this widow from using any conspiracies." ”

After stationing, there was no movement all night, knowing that the next morning, the Han soldiers patrolling around captured more than a dozen Japanese civilians and brought them to the Chinese army, where Liu Xie personally interrogated.

He asked them what it was, what border it belonged to, and where the nearest city was.

I knew that these Japanese people didn't know anything, they didn't know anything, and they were very shabby, and some Japanese people were actually wearing animal skins, and they didn't even have decent cloth clothes.

And it is very difficult to communicate with them, because they can't understand what they are saying.

Liu Xie was also made big, and said: "Why don't these Japanese people have a unified language? Four hundred years ago, didn't Xu Fu take my Han culture to the island to spread it? Why is this still the case? ”

Zhuge Liang said: "It is possible that this Xu Fu went to the Waren Island, and it may not spread due to various reasons." ”

Liu Xie had no choice but to say: "Chuan Ming Concubine comes, see if she can understand." ”
